Every year at the beach, numerous amounts of "blobs" as I call them can be found in the water. They are completely see-through other than a few purple perpendicular lines lining the inner edge. I believe them to be jellyfish, though they do not have tentacles. They range from a single inch to approximately 6 inches in length. They are definately not Mushroom Cap Jellyfish.

Interesting. Maybe you have a sub species? What they look like on the beach is round blobs with purple centers and if you pick them up they fall apart but in the ocean they can open up and swim as shown in the pictures.

I never see them on the beach, although it is true that they fall apart if picked up. In the water the hardly open at all, though it is possible to see them propelling themselves through the water from a small opening.

NR get's thousands of posts daily... Everytime you post less than I minute later your topic is gone halfway down the list of active topics. I think it'd be cool for this one to get big, but maybe not Nano-Reef big.
